Abstract

With an increase of public's perception on "minimally invasive dentistry", more patients are demanding orthodontic alignment of anterior teeth rather than restorative treatment which is more invasive. One draw back of orthodontic alignment has been that it takes long time. To overcome this limitation, a new orthodontic device named Mini-Tube Appliance (MTA), have been developed. With the combined use of light NiTi wire and inter-proximal stripping, rapid anterior alignment can be obtained efficiently. This article presents the use of MTA for rapid alignment of anterior teeth and its clinical guidelines with typical case samples.
